I Messed Up Guys

[Popularity]

This is the first time i've been alone enough for me to tell this story. Im a real stupid kid. I'll give you the shortest version possible because it is a very long story.
I decided to go to Denver last Friday to hang out with a local hipforums user. My main idea was the score some dank and then leave. Im still under my parents rule and so they told me someone was going to check on me since they were out of town. I said i was going to a friends and for some reason......every time i am doing something im not supposed to, they just start asking me questions. They wanted his number and i told them i wasnt going to give it. I wouldnt give it to them regardless i was lying to them.
So i told them i was running out of battery(which i was) but not completely dead.
So the guy im meeting with doesnt answer his phone except texts me he's in a meeting. And thats the only thing i heard from him. So i walk around Denver to try to do something in the meantime and try to see if anyone would sell. A lot went on, but basically i walked around for a good 3 hours and couldnt find my car.
I got a text message from sprint and it said my phone could now be tracked. I finally found my car and went home.
About 15 mins after i arrived my parents came back from a 1hr30min trip and were pissed. They took my phone as well.
They talked to me about trust and how they should have none in me.
Then the next morning i found out they read all my text messages that i had sent and friends had sent to me. So they found out i have been smoking the plant.
It really sucks and my parents are sooo against it. Now they will almost never leave me unattended at the house. I was so stupid. I bet i couldve hid my smoking from them until college.....but i DIDNT DELETE MY MESSAGES. How wreckless. I did delete some however which was good i guess. Especially the ones of my sister cursing and talking about drinking and weed.
No xbox for 3 days(luckily). No internet for about 5(luckily). But i wont get my phone back(the ultimate source of my deception to them) for im hoping 2 weeks. Maybe a lot longer.
I'll wrap it up now. It really sucks and i really regret that if i had just not of gone then i wouldnt be in this situation. But its over now and i'm trying to accept that. I always knew in the back of my mind they would find out. ugh.
Congrats if you read all this.

[hippieatheart]

i'm sorry to hear about what happened!
nothing sucks more than your parents going through your shit.
but it's not like it's totally your fault, though. you didn't know that they were going to be checking through your phone, so how would you of known to delete your messages?
but at least you know now to be more careful, and to delete your texts when you get your phone back if there is anything bad that your parents could read somehow.
i hope things work out and your parents can gain trust in you.. just chill out and don't smoke weed until all this cools down.

There was a thread dedicated to you lol.

Anyways welcome back.

There was a thread dedicated to you lol.
eh?

[skullkidnate]

Your friend posted about you getting in trouble, good to hear you came out alright.

[Popularity]

oh. i'll look that up.
yeah, its weird. just today i asked my mom when they would start letting me stay at the house alone.
and she said never.
i was like " 2 years?!" and now they just left me alone twice today.

[hippieatheart]

oh. i'll look that up.

i was like " 2 years?!" and now they just left me alone twice today.see! lol.. they left you alone twice already. this all probably isn't going to be as bad as you think.

[Mother's Love]

turn the tables on them. dont share your feelings. brood. when they ask why, tell them, you cant trust them, that you feel violated. fuck them. parents dont deserve respect just because they conceive and gestate a child. respect should always be earned.

watch George Carlin's "its bad for ya". and start a counter for how long until you are 18

[Captain Cannabis]

see! lol.. they left you alone twice already. this all probably isn't going to be as bad as you think.
Ya man, you hardly got in trouble.

Your lucky your parents are cool.

[mr.greenxxx]

sorry dude, parents can be a real drag. just remember its temporary and learn and try to move on.

[Jimmy P]

severe violation of privacy and trust on their part. they might as well have gone through your diary if you kept one. you've done something you weren't supposed to, which almost every kid does. they've done something they should have known better than doing, and not every parent is so controlling of their child.

I would have a total loss of respect and trust for my parents had they done such a thing when I was younger. at the end of the day, you've violated a rule, deceived them and broken the law, but in my opinion, their crime is greater.

[A593]

J, what's up?
Man, you need to contact me.

I'm dying to know what all happened. Your parents sent me text messages and then I called them to warn them to listen to what you had to say (in short) I'm guessing they didn't listen.

So you couldn't find your car?? (I smiled) I'd be so nervous at that point.

Just do what I did with my mother, and just don't share anything with her anymore about your life... It doesn't sound very mature, but its difficult to handle immature actions with maturity that gets you nowhere

[Subliminal89]

yeah thats really blows. in time you will recover. i know how you feel.

[Just a daily toke]

dude they are just trying to scare you probably

[CannbisSouL]

My aprents were stoners back in the day so they would understand if they caught me smoking,
But its too bad that you got caught.
I always delete messeges about weed, I also took off message saving on my MSN,

[paperPlanes285]

it shouldn't be too bad after a while just don't get busted again, my mistake was getting busted like 5 times so now my parents will always think i do drugs.

but yeah just try to convince them after a while that you're completely done with it, make it some big heart-felt speech, maybe they'll believe it.

[paperPlanes285]

yeah man that's what i always say,
when i was in rehab my mom read my ENTIRE diary that i wrote in like almost every day for like 2 months, she reads my text messages if i don't keep my phone on me all the time, she randomly searches my room, she's searched ME while my friends were over and found a bottle in my backpack and kicked everyone out, she thinks she's entitled to give me random drug tests, etc etc

Wow, thats low. Real low.

[paperPlanes285]

well that's what i have to do with my parents, if i want to ever be able to leave the house...so yeah i;d rather lie to my parents than sit at home all day every day.

[soaringeagle]

all i can say is those are some mighty lonient parents a dew days? 2 weeks without phone? big fuckin deal..

[jusdino4it]

Sounds like you got off rather easy.

[Captain Cannabis]

well that's what i have to do with my parents, if i want to ever be able to leave the house...so yeah i;d rather lie to my parents than sit at home all day every day.
I really can't believe what I'm reading. So when your kids come home from a party after railing lines of speed you'd rather them just say "Oh I was at the mall".

[paperPlanes285]

well i'm not planning to have kids, so i don't have to worry about that.

but seriously after YOU do shit like that do you just come home and tell your parents?

if i did, i'd be in rehab right now which is not where i want to spend my highschool years.

[Captain Cannabis]

No I don't have to lie, zoom isn't exactly my drug of choice.

But ok, your right I dont tell my parents that I blow lines on the weekends, I just tell them I smoked a lot of dope. (I'm lucky)

[paperPlanes285]

if i could tell them the truth i would, it's not like i like lying to them but i also like smoking weed and doing other shit.

it's easier on them anyway not having to worry about shit like that because even if they did send me to rehab as soon as i got out i'd just be getting high again, so yeah saves a lot of stress and a hospital bill.

[hippieatheart]

I really can't believe what I'm reading. So when your kids come home from a party after railing lines of speed you'd rather them just say "Oh I was at the mall".you said you were lucky cause you could tell your parents you smoke weed.
but sometimes kids aren't as lucky to have parents like you and me and they pretty much have to lie, or don't get high at all and be straight.

some people's parents probably would send their kids away to rehab if they found out they were out doing drugs all the time.. that's why lying is needed

i'm not saying it's the right thing to do, but to save yourself from rehab/forever being grounded, you're gonna have to.

[porkstock41]

i would just like to add that if a parent is paying their kid's cell phone bill, i think they have every right to look through the text messages. with that being said, i would still be busted and pissed if my mom looked through mine, but if you're being a bad little kid, be sneaky enough to erase incriminating messages.

and captain cannabis, do you tell your parents that you sell bud too?

[stratface]

damn, that sucks man. consider yourself lucky they didn't find a stash or pieces and toss your shit, at least.

[Popularity]

it sucks that my phone holds every message ive ever typed. thats why i would just delete some.
I agree i did get off easy though. however the part i hate is that they will want me around all the time with them.
here in CO i have no friends and theyre talking about doing this and that and i tell them i hate that. theyre like "we're gonna have fun!". its nice,but i dont like it and i cant do this for 2 years. i get depressed.

i had something else i wanted to say but i forgot.

[obs82]

man that sucks. and yeah, there was a post about you by your friend. but in a nice way, seems like a nice guy.
this sucks, but i'm sure you'll be fine. i understand how things are i think. i've been busted by my parents before and that sucked. i'll give you the short version.

i was 16, and i shared a car with my older sister. i had it for the day, and it was at school with me. i had a Fossil tin packed with weed and shrooms. probably equal amounts.
turns out my sis left her mitts in the car and had to grab them. someone took her to my school and while grabbing them she noticed the tin, opened it and freaked.
so, 3:15 comes around and me and my gf go to my car to find the drugs. they're gone. i also notice that my sisters mitts are gone. i race home, and she's sitting there with the tin. she says either she'll tell my rents, or i have to tell them. obviously i tell them.
they took it ok, until they asked to see it. they thought it was nothing. then they found rolled joints, a big bag of weed, and maybe a quarter of shrooms. THEY FLIPPED. wanted to send me to rehab. lol. thing is they probably flipped cause they didn't even know what the shrooms were. hahaha.
anyway, after a little bit of arguing, everything was fine. kids gotta get in trouble, and pave their own path. just sorry to hear you're going through it. good luck.

my dad asked me if he were to get high on his own time if i wouldnt see anythig wrong with that.
i said no. hahaha.
and he said i needed help and later said i needed REHAB.

[TopNotchStoner]

hahaha Rehab?

I was wondering what happened to you from all that shit. I'm glad it didn't turn out worse, because you did get off easy, compared to what could've happened. They could've sent you to rehab, without your consent, so count your blessings and delete your messages in the future:spliff:

[A593]

Personally, never having been to rehab, I think it would be kind of entertaining. I only think that because I know I'm strong enough mentally to withstand whatever they'd try to convince of in there. If my mother seriously was considering it, I'd dare her to, telling her it would just put us farther apart but I wouldn't care.

So, you're dad thinks you are wrong for being okay with HIM smoking?

Your parents are nothing like my mother dude... you can sit them down and talk to them somehow and atleast change their thoughts a little bit.

[The_Chronic1]

i'd say your punishment is light which is good haha but not having your parents trust does suck. after being arrested i wasn't allowed to drive, i was and still am in therapy, and my parents are suspicious about everything i do. i wasn't going to be allowed to drive for a while or allowed out for a while but i did what mother's love said. i brooded and kept away from my parents for about 2 weeks and then i had a huge conversation with my mom and i basically said nothing the whole time and she goes tell me what will make you happy and i saw an opportunity so i said i want your trust. so after like 2 weeks i could drive again and go out and everything i had all the same privileges, but my parents are alot more suspicious they smell through my clothes and my mom "cleans" my room more often it sucks but im on probation right now so either way they wont find anything, but they still think im smoking, but fuck them. Basically everything sucks for a while but it will get better try reasoning with your parents and stay clean for a while and earn there trust...ive got about 5 more months to go just hang in there... thats what ive been telling myself...cant wait for october

[Popularity]

I remember what i was going to say.
I told them it's not like im the kid who's going around parties with other people getting high and drunk and fucking girls and smoking cigarettes.
I'm simply stay at the house, smoke every so often, keep to myself, and do the things i normally would do.
it's rediculous. i think that was my best argument.
All my mom said was "How does our house not wreek of weed?"

[obs82]

don't.
that's them asking for your smoking secrets.

i used to keep so many secrets from my parents that my mom used to joke and say that she'd get me pissed drunk one day, so i'll tell all. LOL sure.

[Gsmall]

lol im so glad my mom doesnt care

[Popularity]

oh man. i would never tell of my sploofing.

[dgdys90]

Man after reading all this shit since I joined this forum about people having to hide their smoking from their parents, I feel lucky as a son of a bitch. My mom is cool with me smoking and she bought me a bag for my sixteenth birthday last year.

I can honestly say that if my mom were against me smoking I would surely not be living with her anymore.

[High_Times_w_Kumar]

my parents took my phone one ay and were able to read the messages i deleted, i have no idea how, but ive been caught for not deleting messages so now i delete everyone, but they were able to read them

[swazo]

It works like this. Parents brains can be looked at from the wine bottle analogy. They were taught a lot of mis-informaton while they were younger and they kept absorbing and cramming it into their head. Then a cork was put in the bottle so that nothing could get in or out.

Then there brains have to adapt so it grows *around* this cork. So basically it goes like this.

You: But mom, look at all of this proof I have from actual scientific organizations that have proven that marijuana is not as bad as you think.
Mom: Yeah... well.... then why is it illegal?
You: But mom, the information and studi...
Mom: Illegal.

End game.

Mom: Yeah... well.... then why is it illegal?
You: But mom, the information and studi...
Mom: Illegal.
End game.laugh out loud.

[wutthe4k]

point out to them how hypocritical they are. they talk about how untrustworthy you are...then spy on you by searching through your messages. talk about trust?


what's wrong with this picture?

[A593]

Don't try and point out their flaws. You gotta be professional.
Anything new happen? Are you still going to smoke? And are you going to tell them you stopped and think its wrong now, or are you just going to say you stopped or what?

[Popularity]

i really hope my parents arent reading all this.
the day i got caught, i realized i could read the forums from my cell phone.
my dad mentioned how he thought all of us are losers and whatnot....but i just hope theyre not continuing to read on and find out im Pop.

[hippieatheart]

That would straight up suck.. I hope they're not doing that to ya!

[maddhatter]

once my parents looked through my browsing history and found all my posts on hipforums. i used to use my lastname as my username so they new what i wrote. they're questioning about ecstasy and shit and i'm like noo i don't do anything harder then weed. then they go to this site and they're like, look it's right here. fucking gay, cause they figured out everything i've done.

[~Baked Goods~]

A lesson I've learned is never do any kind of drug business with text messages. It's worse than a telephone call. Whenever I make a call the only somewhat incriminating things I say are numbers. No straight lingo or anything like that. "You got an 8th\quarter\half. (insert number) right?"

My dealers would rather shoot the shit with me when i get it rather than talk on the phone for too long.
